Megs, monk and many more fish on Monday's market
Another dent made in the ray TAC for the year...
as several big beam trawler trips fill the market...
with megrims galore...
the incisions in whole ray are there to aid drainage from the gut cavity when the fish are stored in the fishroom...
which fish?...
impossible to tie a knot in a conger...
monk by the box...
and mackerel get a look in...
there's still a trail of black to follow...
the sum total of hake for a full beam trawler trip...
still more sepia-soaked floors...
most of the fleet are in port on the back of a short, sharp gale over the weekend...
two of the big names in Cornish fish merchants go back-to-back...
that might just be a heavy shower in the offing heading for the Lizard...
Newlyn's red light district.
